According to CNN, Mr. Kirby agreed with the words of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov who said that a nuclear war cannot be won, and it should not be started.

“There is no reason for the current conflict in Ukraine to get to that level at all. As I said earlier, we are watching this very closely. We do not see anything out there that would make us change our strategic nuclear deterrent posture and our ability to defend the homeland or those of our allies and partners," the Pentagon representative emphasised.
